Description:
------------
The underlying DLL ntdwdblib.dll shipped with the release windows PHP 5.2.6 version is very old (1998) and not fonctionnal with most SQL Server (2000/2005).

If a DLL is to be shipped with PHP, it should be a working one (for example 2000.80.194.0 or newer).

If we are supposed to install the DLL by installing the MSSQL Client tool, there should be no included DLL in the PHP Tree.


Reproduce code:
---------------
$result=mssql_connect($ligne['ip'],$ligne['login'],$ligne['pass']);
				

Expected result:
----------------
Connect to the server and return a valid MS-SQL Link resource.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  mssql_connect() [<a href='function.mssql-connect'>function.mssql-connect</a>]: Unable to connect to server: xx.xx.xx.xx

We can't update it or use the new versions of the library (legal reasons). Alternatively you can use MS native driver.

If for legal reason the new DLL can't be shipped, the oldest should not. Or at least, not in the default directory, with the name windows is looking for.
Each release of PHP, we have to delete or replace this DLL. 

Please, delete it from Tree subversion, or rename it to .ratherold or something like that to avoid conflict with working version!

It don't want to spend time to convert this old PHP website to native MS SQL.
